I used low sodium soy sauce but the chicken was much too salty for our taste. I used frozen boneless skinless chicken breast that may have been infused with salt which caused the problem. Will use only fresh breasts next time.

After three hours in the Crockpot on HIGH, the lentils were still hard. Removed the soup to finish cooking on top of the stove. This recipe is way off! The lentils soaked up too much of the broth! Suggest using half (8 oz) of lentils and Italian sausage for more flavor.
